Coming along nicely, I'll post the spells and some details on setting it
up (its pretty trivial) in the morning. There is one small fix to
/sbin/ifup that needs to be made along with the 'export _OBEY_UP_ON_BOOT'
problem in the init.d network script that I mentioned earlier. Basically,
you need to configure your network devices with:

   MODULE=static
   UP_ON_BOOT=no

and load the modules outside of the standard networking system, otherwise
ifdown will remove the module and break ifplugd. Some small configuration
needs to be done in /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf and away you go! I still
need to throw together an init script and prevent the spell from
installing its own into /etc/init.d.

Its pretty slick though. It'll even detect when an access point comes
in/out of range and bring up/down a wireless link.

More details to come...
